Dog Female and Goat Male

When this pairing consists of a Dog woman and a Goat man, she will be attracted at the possibility of helping this man turn his life around. He will like her high standards. She will soon despair of ever helping him accomplish anything, while he will find her criticisms hard to bear.

The Dog and Goat signs are both loyal to one another, which is a key factor in any long-lasting relationship, whether it is romantic or platonic. A Dog is loyal by nature in the Chinese zodiac, and the Goat prefers to love with all of his or her own heart. Because of the Dog’s logic and the Goat’s sense of dreaming and being creative, the two are likely to balance one another out with the right perspective of the relationship.

The Dog and the Goat are both stubborn and often "set in their ways" by nature, which can lead to arguments and this is generally handled in a kind and gentle manner, as neither of the signs are harsh and blunt by nature according to the Chinese horoscope.

Dog Female & Goat Male Compatibility

Both of you hope to enrich your relationship through communication and efforts, although it always goes crisscross. The romantic but pessimistic male sheep longs for care, support and sympathy from his wife, but the female dog’s criticism and correction robs him of confidence. The female dog may also become resentful because of her husband’s long-term indifference. So, as long as you could care more with each other you can stay together happily.

The best chances of a successful Goat-Dog union appear to lie in each partner’s ability to bring something unique to the relationship. The Goat for instance is known to be caring and loving partner – in fact the women of this sign have a strong nurturing instinct which delights in lavishing care and attention on loved ones. This suits the Dog very well because of a lack of emotional security deep inside. This character constantly needs to be told by a partner how wonderful and special he/she is and only then can they give their best in a personal situation. And the Goat, whether male or female, is only too happy to fulfill this emotional need of a Dog partner.

On his/her part, the Dog is an extremely protective partner, both in physical and emotional sense. True to the animal whose symbol this zodiac sign bears, the Dog can be quite fierce in their attempts to protect those that they consider their personal responsibility. At the same time, he/she is very caring by nature and can be trusted to come up with both words of sympathy as well as practical aid in times of need. They are especially supportive of partners who they perceive of lacking confidence and would encourage them with the same drive they pursue their own careers and interests. And the Goat with his/her inherent shy nature would be one such personality that is likely to benefit from a relationship with the Dog.

Then again both the Goat and Dog seem capable of bringing complementing each other with their respective traits in love. A Dog is logical in nature and prefers to follow a plan of action rather than work in a haphazard or meandering manner. As such the Dog stands well placed to balance the Goat’s tendency to dreaminess and lethargy. A Dog can help provide his/her Goat partner with a little more structure and security. The Goat in turn can return the favor by helping his/her Dog partner to be positive and hopeful. The Goat for all their retiring personalities is great lovers of the finer of life like good food, nice dresses and aesthetic pleasures. In this way the Goat can counter the Dog’s bent to pessimism by opening him/her to all that is beautiful and pleasurable in life.

However the most realistic chances of a compatible Goat-Dog match lies perhaps in their shared love of home and homely comforts. The one place where the Goat is happiest is in his/her home – whether working from a home office, rustling up delicious meals or pottering about in the garden. Though to a lesser extent, this love of a familiar and simple routine is shared by the Dog too; they are not one for dramatic or exciting journeys because they would rather be at home, protecting their families. Unlike a Rat-Horse or perhaps a Dragon-Monkey couple, the Goat and Dog pair would happily eschew the bright lights and scintillating company outside for the familiarity and comforts of their own home.

Dog Female and Goat Male Love Match

The matter-of-fact attitude of the Dog would naturally disapprove of the Sheep’s indulgent character which will make the Sheep even more pessimistic. The Dog can be sympathetic but not always willing to sugar coat things to pacify the Sheep’s sensitivity. The Sheep needs a lot of empathy and support but the Dog can be unconcerned and even be annoyed by the Sheep’s constant complaints and self-gratification attitude. This relationship will probably not work as each tends to bring out the other’s negative traits.

Conflicts characterize this relationship, making the Dog and Sheep more irritable than they usually are. The practical and straightforward Dog will be irked by the Sheep’s sentimentality, and will respond unsympathetically with sharp comments. This is not the way to handle the normally unselfish Sheep, who will be sensitive to such remarks and become dejected at the Dog’s direct methods.

And despite so many possibilities of romantic compatibility, the Goat-Dog pairing is not always a happy one. One of the main reasons for this is that both partners are prone to extreme bouts of emotional insecurity. While the Dog needs consistent evidence of the love and support of a partner, the Goat likes to be pampered emotionally as well as materially. It is not in the nature of the Goat to work hard, whether in relationships or in the external world.

As a result the Goat is often unable to provide the kind of effort that the Dog requires in a relationship. Likewise the Dog is prone to moodiness and negativity, especially at times when things are not going his/her way. On such occasions, the Dog can become anxious, irritable and even snap at others around him/her – none of which is likely to go down well with the highly sensitive Goat. Instead of perceiving such behavior from the Dog partner objectively and letting him/her be, the Goat is likely to take the Dog’s moodiness personally and feel that this he/she is trying to push them away.

Then again, the Goat and Dog are likely to be involved in very different kinds of pursuits, despite their love of domestic surroundings. While the Goat is a sensualist at heart, the Dog is extremely idealistic. As a result the Goat would be attracted to experiences and objects which give pleasure to the senses like fine dining, pretty clothes as well high culture.

The Dog on the other hand would probably see these pursuits as frivolous and instead wish to be allied to important causes and a more active way of life. Thus even if the two are able to work out their personal problems, this conflict between a leisurely, sensual approach to life and an active idealistic value system is likely to push the Goat and Dog further apart from each other.
